Close call!

Last night, the 2013 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, held in El Lay, inducted the likes of Donna Summer, Quincy Jones, Randy Newman, Rush, Albert King, Public Enemy, Heart and Lou Adler!

And while there was a myriad of star-studded guest speakers and performers for the special occasion, including Oprah Winfrey, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters, and John Mayer, one expected performer was NOTICEABLY missing in action:

Christina Aguilera!

The diva, who was expected to join Hudson by posthumously honoring Summers' magnificent career with a performance of Bad Girls and Last Dance, reportedly canceled at the last minute. And her absence is now being said to have been due to

Just when Shakira and Usher were giving a healthy boost to the ratings, The Voice is going through ANOTHER coach change!

And in a shocking twist, they're replacing Shak with her own baby!

Sure, it's unorthodox and probably illegal, but just look at how adorable Milan looks in that giant chair!

OK, he isn't really going to replace Shakira, but Mommy did bring him to work! She posted this pic to her Facebook, saying:

At first we thought Usher was being INDUCTED into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but then we heard it was Donna Summer, Albert King, Quincy Jones and Lou Adler — which made more sense as Usher hasn't really been around long enough to get a nod! Ha!

Usher WILL be there, though! Along with Carole King, John Fogerty, Spike Lee, and Harry Belafonte! They're on the list of performers and presenters for the ceremony!

Usher will be performing for Quincy Jones, which is pretty damn perrrrrfect!

Sounds like an amazing night, and what an honor for everyone involved!

Congrats to those being inducted! You're all LEGENDS!!

The coaches on NBC’s The Voice sure hit the ground running! What’s more, Shakira and Usher — filling in for Christina Aguilera and Cee Loo Green this season — wasted no time joining Adam Levine and Blake Shelton in their race to form their team of talented potentials.

With a stellar opening number (above) — the coaches’ rendition of the Beatles Come Together, each performing with their own instruments no less — the bar was set higher than it has been in the past! One word: WOW.

But the truly unforgettable performances of the night came from Judith Hill and The Morgan Twins. Ch-ch-check ‘em out…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Shakira might be a Colombian pop star, but there is so much more to her!

The little fireball isn't just a woman with honest hips and a new baby boy, but which Voice judge does she have the most in common with??

Does Shakira like to get her dance on with Usher? Or maybe woo hot Victoria’s Secret models like Adam Levine??

LOLz!

Or does she prefer to get a little country like Blake Shelton?

Ch-ch-check out her revealing promo (above) for the new season and you’ll find out!
